Easter Post

I've been unable to get onto my blog to POST.  Sorry!

Three weeks ago I sat down due to falling in my upstairs carpeted hallway.  Since it was the second such event in 3 days I phoned my orthopedist on Monday and he said come first thing Tuesday morning as he was in surgery Monday.  After Xrays he determined the ligaments in my right (new) knee were ruptured.  This is due to my horrible staph infection.  I'm wearing a brace to keep my knee from buckling and walking with a walker for more stability.  It isn't what I wanted to happen but it is better than hopping with pain.  I return to the dr May 8 and determine what to do next.  It will probably lead to a permanent brace.  I can live with this setback so we'll just see what's next.

Meanwhile, my cancer free diagnosis amazes many.  I am experiencing a God given miracle.  I feel better than I have in a couple years, even tho' my back & bottom are sore from the fall.  Nothing BROKE so I use heat & rest for treatment.  I can get around so that's good.  My energy level isn't up to par yet.

Easter 1952 I was baptized into Christian Faith.  As a means of celebrating I'm giving copies of "The Hole in the Gospel" by Richard Stearns.  He is the CEO of World Vision.   I hope people will be encouraged to share Christ by reading this book.

May 22 I am to have my gallbladder surgery.  Then I'll be finished with the biliary tube after nearly 25 months!   Obviously I have a priority list for fixing up my body.

May God be with you!
